What NOW says about Miers

The NOW press release on Miers:

After careful consideration of O'Connor's record and judicial philosophy, NOW testified in support of her confirmation in 1981. While she was a conservative, O'Connor did support basic human rights and liberties that transcend the often rigid labels of "liberal" or "conservative."

It remains to be seen where Miers stands on those and virtually every other issue. She has no paper trail and has never served as a judge—quite simply, her future conduct on the Court may be impossible to determine. Should the Senate confirm someone to a lifetime appointment with so little information? We think not. NOW urges the Senate to ask tough questions, insist on answers, and refuse to confirm this nomination unless they can establish that Miers supports the fundamental rights of women.

Change a few labels around and this could have been written by a right-wing group.
